Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 32 chip, codenamed Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile uses the Ampere architecture with the GA107 chip and belongs to the Ampere-MW (Ax000) generation. The process nodes differ significantly: AMD uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, while NVIDIA uses an 8 nm process at Samsung. The V710 packs 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The A1000 Mobile has 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, for a density of 43.5M per mm².

Compute resources diverge sharply. The V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The A1000 Mobile has 2,048 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware exists on both: 54 RT cores on the AMD side versus 16 on the NVIDIA side. The NVIDIA card also includes 64 tensor cores, which the AMD card does not list. Clock behavior differs as well. The V710 runs at a 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost, while the A1000 Mobile has a 630 MHz base and 1140 MHz boost.

Memory architecture is another major split. The V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus with 504.0 GB/s bandwidth and memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The A1000 Mobile uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 176.0 GB/s bandwidth and memory at 1375 MHz (11 Gbps effective). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is identical.

Physical and power characteristics differ as expected for a desktop card versus a mobile part. The V710 is a single-slot card with one 8-pin power connector and a 450 W suggested PSU. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and has no display outputs, meaning it is designed as a compute-only accelerator. The A1000 Mobile is an IGP (integrated graphics package) with no power connectors, a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, and display outputs described as portable device dependent. The V710 has a 158 W TDP; the A1000 Mobile has a 60 W TDP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scored 116,460, and the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile scored 48,703. The delta is 139.1% in favor of AMD. This is not a narrow margin; the V710 more than doubles the A1000 Mobile's score. The A1000 Mobile has no wins in the head-to-head comparison, with AMD taking 1 win and NVIDIA taking 0.

Looking at the broader benchmark context, the V710's average score of 58,657 places it near the NVIDIA P102-100 (58,528, delta 0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392, delta 0.5%), the Intel Arc A570M (58,239, delta 0.7%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58,085, delta 1%). The A1000 Mobile's average of 47,743 sits near the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (48,477, delta -1.5%), the AMD Radeon RX 6550M (46,702, delta 2.2%), the Intel Arc A530M (46,614, delta 2.4%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (46,601, delta 2.5%). The V710 also has a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853, which the A1000 Mobile does not have recorded.

The Geekbench OpenCL comparison is the only direct overlap, and it shows a decisive AMD advantage. The V710 also has a Geekbench Vulkan score not listed for the A1000 Mobile, while the A1000 Mobile has a Geekbench Vulkan score of 46,782 that is not listed for the V710. However, the OpenCL result is the one that allows a direct comparison, and it is lopsided.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. Process node: 5 nm for AMD versus 8 nm for NVIDIA. Foundry: TSMC versus Samsung. Transistors: 28,100 million versus 8,700 million. Die size: 346 mm² versus 200 mm². Transistor density: 81.2M per mm² versus 43.5M per mm². Base clock: 1900 MHz versus 630 MHz. Boost clock: 2000 MHz versus 1140 MHz. Memory clock: 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus 1375 MHz (11 Gbps effective). Memory size: 28 GB versus 4 GB. Memory bus: 224-bit versus 128-bit. Memory bandwidth: 504.0 GB/s versus 176.0 GB/s.

Shader resources: 3,456 shading units versus 2,048. TMUs: 216 versus 64. ROPs: 96 versus 32. Ray tracing cores: 54 versus 16. Tensor cores: not listed for AMD, 64 for NVIDIA. Pixel rate: 192.0 GPixel/s versus 36.48 GPixel/s. Texture rate: 432.0 GTexel/s versus 72.96 GTexel/s. FP32: 27.65 TFLOPS versus 4.669 TFLOPS. FP16: 27.65 TFLOPS (1:1) versus 4.669 TFLOPS (1:1). TDP: 158 W versus 60 W. Slot width: single-slot versus IGP. Power connectors: one 8-pin versus none. Suggested PSU: 450 W versus none listed. Bus interface: PCIe 4.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs: none versus portable device dependent. Release date: 2024-10-02 versus 2022-03-29. Production status: not listed versus end-of-life. Predecessor: Radeon Pro Vega versus Quadro Turing-M. Successor: not listed versus Ada-MW.

The architectures are fundamentally different generations: RDNA 3.0 versus Ampere. The AMD card is a compute-focused desktop accelerator with no outputs, while the NVIDIA card is a mobile IGP tied to portable devices. The only shared traits are GDDR6 memory type and identical API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4).

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 rating of 27.65 TFLOPS is roughly six times the A1000 Mobile's 4.669 TFLOPS. The pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 36.48 GPixel/s) and texture rate (432.0 GTexel/s versus 72.96 GTexel/s) follow the same pattern. The memory subsystem is far larger: 28 GB versus 4 GB, with 504.0 GB/s versus 176.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For workloads that fit in memory and need sustained compute, the V710 is the clear choice. It also wins the only direct benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, by 139.1%.

The NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its 60 W TDP is less than half the V710's 158 W, and it requires no power connectors, making it suitable for portable systems. It has 64 tensor cores, which the V710 does not list, so NVIDIA-specific tensor workloads may have an advantage. It also has display outputs, while the V710 has none, so the A1000 Mobile can drive a screen in a laptop. The A1000 Mobile is end-of-life, but it remains an option for mobile workstations where power draw and space are constrained.

The V710 is also the newer product, released on 2024-10-02 versus 2022-03-29 for the A1000 Mobile. The V710's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, while the A1000 Mobile's predecessor is the Quadro Turing-M, and its successor is Ada-MW.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split by use case. If the workload is compute-heavy and runs in a desktop or server environment, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the stronger choice. It has more than double the average benchmark score (58,657 versus 47,743), a 139.1% lead in the direct Geekbench OpenCL comparison, and a vastly larger memory pool (28 GB versus 4 GB) with higher bandwidth (504.0 GB/s versus 176.0 GB/s). Its FP32 compute is 27.65 TFLOPS, which is roughly six times the A1000 Mobile's 4.669 TFLOPS. The V710 also sits at the 88th percentile of all GPUs, three points higher than the A1000 Mobile's 85th percentile.

If the requirement is a low-power mobile GPU for a portable device, the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile is the only one of the two that fits that form factor. It is an IGP with no power connectors, a 60 W TDP, and display outputs described as portable device dependent. It also includes 64 tensor cores, which the V710 does not list, making it the only option here for tensor-focused work. The A1000 Mobile is end-of-life, so buyers should weigh that against its mobile integration.

For a stationary compute node, the V710 wins without qualification. It has no display outputs, so it is not meant for a desktop workstation with a monitor attached. It is a compute accelerator with a single-slot design, one 8-pin connector, and a 450 W suggested PSU. The A1000 Mobile is the opposite: a mobile part tied to portable devices. The choice is less about which GPU is better in the abstract, the data shows the V710 is far more powerful and the A1000 Mobile is far more portable. Pick the V710 for raw throughput, the A1000 Mobile for mobile deployment and tensor core support.
